The reason for this Blog is so that our children will always have our thoughts and feelings about the Book of Mormon and its teachings. We have invited grandparents to add their thoughts and insights as well because they are the smartest people we know when it comes to the teachings of the gospel. There will come a time when we have left this earth and our children/grandchildren will still be able to read our words and feel of our testimonies.

Jacob 4:4 For, for this intent have we written these things, that they may know that we aknew of Christ, and we had a hope of his bglory many hundred years before his (2nd) coming; and not only we ourselves had a hope of his glory, but also all the holy cprophets which were before us.

2nd Nephi Chapter 11:1-8


And now, aJacob spake many more things to my people at that time; nevertheless only these things have I caused to be bwritten, for the things which I have written sufficeth me.
 2And now I, Nephi, write amore of the words of bIsaiah, for my soul delighteth in his words. For I will liken his words unto my people, and I will send them forth unto all my children, for he verily csaw my dRedeemer, even as I have seen him.
 3And my brother, Jacob, also has aseen him as I have seen him; wherefore, I will send their words forth unto my children to prove unto them that my words are true. Wherefore, by the words ofbthree, God hath said, I will establish my word. Nevertheless, God sendeth more cwitnesses, and he proveth all his words.
 4Behold, my soul delighteth in aproving unto my people the truth of the bcoming of Christ; for, for this end hath the claw of Moses been given; and all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the dtypifying of him.
 5And also my soul delighteth in the acovenants of the Lord which he hath made to our fathers; yea, my soul delighteth in his bgrace, and in his justice, and power, and mercy in the great and eternal plan of cdeliverance from death.
 6And my soul delighteth in proving unto my people that asaveChrist should come all men must perish.
 7For if there be ano Christ there be no God; and if there be no God we are not, for there could have been no bcreation. But there is a God, and che is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time.
 8And now I write asome of the words of Isaiah, that whoso of my people shall see these words may lift up their hearts and rejoice for all men. Now these are the words, and ye may liken them unto you and unto all men.
Thoughts:
Jason: 
The words of Isaiah are not ones that I get very easily. It is apparent however that they are of great importance. The lord knew we had the bible yet he instructed Nephi to rewrite these passages again in the Book of Mormon. This is without a doubt great knowledge hidden in the teachings of Isaiah. 
verse 3 show that Jacob was a very righteous person who posses spiritual abilities like his brother Nephi. 
We too can find comfort in our covenants with the Lord. We can be assured that if we hold our end of the agreement then we will get our promised reward.
